Re: Let's hear the truth RE: wishing "GL"
i'll say hello, but no i do not wish my opponent,s good luck
a few months back i started thinking it was insincere of most players, so i would say ,"good luck to you in your next game"

Re: Let's hear the truth RE: wishing "GL"
I mean it. I don't have anything against opponents having good luck, so long as it's not at my losing-15-bazillion-to-a-single army type expense.

I'm not sure that could possibly be more irrelevant.
Anyway, I played someone recently who said, "May your dice all be sixes in every game but this one." Thought that was funny.

Re: Let's hear the truth RE: wishing "GL"
I always used to make sure I said good strategy when someone wished me good luck. Now I'm lazy and will have a simple gl,hf,lol,omg!
Re: Let's hear the truth RE: wishing "GL"
I do say good luck, because it will take good luck to make a game out of it. Not that I don't hope for better luck myself.

Where's the option that says "I say it because I really do want them to have good luck... because I think I can beat them, luck notwithstanding."

Re: Let's hear the truth RE: wishing "GL"
I actually thought 'gl' meant 'get lost'.
I found it quite refreshing how honest people were..
pink: gl
yellow: yeah, gl everybody
blue: gl to you too
etc.
Since that illusion is now shattered, I shall have to change my approach.
Think I'll go for 'DIE' from now on - that should get my sentiments across quite nicely.

I tend to favor "Rot in hell you motherfucking dickwads" over "gl".

I usually say gl. Sometimes I mean it. I really do mean it when I am playing people I know though. It's like when atheists say 'bless you' after someone sneezes. Even if they don't mean it, it's kind of habit and people think it's polite.
